I too think these threads are stupid. No way in hell some ghay thread is going to change someones mind about the war, so why even bother? We're going to war whether our US Leaders think its best or not.
Now my contribution.
No one likes War. War is simply.... Hell. People die, which is never good but sometimes war is needed.
I laugh when you guys talk about Somalia & other instances where US forces were used to restore order. Somalia and Iraq are two completely different wars in the bigger picture. Somalia was classified as guerilla war fare in which platoons sent out sparatically are ordered to take out terrorist leaders and make house arrests. In Iraq's case, we're talking about a full pledged war - Armies against Armies. So basically dont compare war with Iraq to Somalia. Yet compare it to WWII or something that involves a super power.
In my opinion, this War is needed. Are we going to need another Pearl Harbor to realize that Saddam is repeating Hitler? How long will it be before Saddam crushes some little nation like hitler did the Rhine Land? Hes got to be stoped, and a bullet to his head will only worsen problems.
